The Dagdha was the Father God of the Tuath de Dannan, famed for his magic Harp, mighty Club and bottomless Cauldron, from which none left unsatisfied. My cauldron is for pouring my excess geekery into and hopefully will make a nourishing brain-soup.

Hope you like it.

Never being one to miss a chance to jump on a bandwagon, I was inspired by Joe Hill's top fifty favorite books to do the same here. Like Joe's, these are in no order of preference, but unlike his, I couldn't be bothered to list the authors alphabetically- I pretty much put them down as they came to me.

I'm sure more will come to me as I think of them
